DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

2. Description of the Related Art In the past, it has been a time of satiety, and diets for health or beauty are often requested.
As a countermeasure, a massage, a hot bath method and the like are known in addition to a method using health foods and sports. Depending on sprains, neuralgia, etc., hot moxibustion, acupuncture, hot spring bathing and the like are used. Although it is effective in itself,
Busy modern people are looking for an easier way. In addition, shoulder stiffness and low back pain occur frequently regardless of age, and various methods such as hot moxibustion, needles, and ships are known, but economical and advantageous methods are still being pursued. .

[0002]

Although the above-mentioned conventional method has a certain effect, it is not a diet method which can be easily carried out by a person who needs it at any time, for example, at home. In addition, it is troublesome if hot moxibustion, needles, ships, etc. can not be done, it is uncomfortable for young people, so it is easy to carry out at home, to improve the diet effect, cure shoulder stiffness and back pain etc. There is so much hope. Among them, the method of promoting perspiration is preferable because it can be applied to almost everyone, but the method by a sweat service applying a sauna or a special sludge requires time and money,
It is not necessarily a method that anyone can easily implement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and comprises a heat-resistant sheet or cloth having a printed layer of an electrode circuit and a printed layer of a heating element circuit having PTC characteristics. A heating part consisting of a heating layer, an insulating plastic layer enclosing them, and a fibrous surface layer on the surface is applied to a part or all of a suit-like cover or a shoulder-like cover, or as a belt-like material. A part of the human body, for example, the torso, arms, legs, etc. is covered, and a power cord with a plug is provided at the end of the electrode circuit, and
A heat-treating cover for treatment or diet, which is provided with a hook-and-loop fastener at a portion where the body is wrapped and the cover is hermetically sealed and easily attached and detached.

[0004]

The heat-generating cover for treatment or diet according to the present invention is constituted by applying it to, for example, all of the suit-shaped cover, and after wearing it, energizing and heating it, the entire human body is warmed. It has the same warming effect as bathing in a hot spring, cures stiff shoulders and neuralgia, and fat on the human body disappears due to sweating, which can be a diet effect. In addition, when used as a shoulder pad shape, it is possible to mainly provide a therapeutic effect such as overuse of the shoulder or 50 shoulders,
When used as a band, depending on the size, for the abdomen, for the arm,
It can be configured for the legs, etc., and can be used for diet, as well as heat treatment, which is effective for digestive organ treatment, neuralgia, and muscle pain. In this case, in any case, the heating can warm the human body and improve blood circulation, thereby relieving pain or the like in the case of pain, and also can exert a diet effect by encouraging sweating in a fat person. However, in the present invention, in particular, since the heating element has the PTC characteristic, an excellent effect completely different from other heating means can be obtained. In other words, the heating temperature of the heating element is automatically controlled, it does not become overheated, there is no danger of burns etc. on the human body, and the heating is accompanied by the effect of far infrared rays, so the heating efficiency is extremely high It has various effects such as good quality, and further has an effect such that it is easy to manufacture a product having an arbitrary shape as needed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially cutaway front view of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of one embodiment of the present invention, in which a heat-resistant sheet or cloth 1 has a printed layer 2 of an electrode circuit such as silver or platinum. A printed layer (heating layer) 3 of a heating element circuit having PTC characteristics is formed, and an insulating plastic layer 4 and a fibrous surface layer 5 are sequentially provided on the surface thereof. A power cord 6 with an insertion plug 7 is attached to an end of the electrode circuit printing layer 2 by an eyelet 8 or the like. Reference numeral 9 denotes a step-down device provided in the middle of the power supply cord, which is used after stepping down the voltage to, for example, about 12 V to ensure safety to the human body. As shown in the front view of the suit shape (sauna suit) in FIG. 3, a printed layer 2 and a heat generating layer 3 of a power supply circuit are formed on a shoulder portion (cape) B and a waist portion C of the suit A. A hook-and-loop fastener (not shown) is provided at the end of the joining line L of the joint. In addition, a power cord with a plug is attached to supply power to each circuit. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a partly cut-out in the case of a band-shaped object. The same reference numerals are given to the same parts as in FIGS. If the eyes are joined with the hook-and-loop fastener 10 and energized for a desired time, the blood circulation of the mounting portion is improved, and a therapeutic effect and a sweating effect can be obtained.

The characteristics of the printed layer of the heating element circuit having the PTC characteristic used in the present invention, that is, the heating layer 3 will be described. As shown in FIG. The characteristic is that the temperature can be controlled without increasing the temperature.The principle is that when energized, the temperature of the heating element rises, the matrix resin softens and expands, the electrical resistance increases, and the current increases. When the value decreases, the temperature rise stops, and when the temperature drops, the matrix resin shrinks due to heat, and the electrical resistance value decreases due to the heat shrinkage of the matrix resin, and the current value increases again. To prevent overheating, reach a predetermined temperature in a short time after energization, do not change the heat generation characteristics even after repeated ON / OFF for a long time, uniform inner surface temperature distribution, and use far infrared heating. Fruit There is also one in which an effect that power consumption is small. For this reason, when such a thing is made into a predetermined shape and used by covering the human body, in addition to treating shoulder pain and back pain, when it is used on the abdomen, arms and legs, it exerts a particularly effective diet effect. be able to.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the cover has a shape suitable for covering all or a part of a human body, and the cover may be a suit, a shoulder, a belt, a knee pad, a heel pad, or the like. Various types of structures are conceivable, but in any case, since the heating element is configured with the printed layer 3 of the heating element circuit having PTC characteristics, it is safe, the power consumption is small, and the surface is made of woven fabric or Because it is made of non-woven fabric, the heat conduction to the human body is soft, the feel is good, it is foldable, it can be used for a long time, and it is sealed and opened using a hook-and-loop fastener. So
It is easy to attach and detach, and is thin and lightweight as a whole, and can be carried, so that it is suitable for traveling.
